“…Therefore, parental divorce would be a potential moderator between negative life events and depression. In addition, divorce-related stigma still exists in most rural areas in China 36 . Not only cross-sectional studies showed that there was a relationship between stigma and low self-esteem, but also a longitudinal study indicated that stigma played a casual role in reducing the self-esteem level 37 .…”

Little attention was paid to the prevalence of depression in Chinese juvenile delinquents who are studied in correctional work-study schools. Hence, the present study aimed to test the unique, mediating and moderating effects of negative life events, self-esteem, rumination and parental divorce on depression among Chinese juvenile delinquents. A total of 236 juvenile delinquents aged between 12 and 17 years old (M = 14.68 SD = 1.30) were recruited to accomplish a battery of self-report questionnaires concerning their negative life events, self-esteem, rumination, depression and demographic profile. The descriptive analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between negative life events and depression in Chinese juvenile delinquents. Moreover, the results from the structural model indicated that self-esteem and rumination played separate and sequential mediating roles between negative life events and depression. In addition, parental divorce had a moderating effect between negative life events and self-esteem in the model. These results suggest that the prevalence of depression among Chinese juvenile delinquents can be reduced through modification of the ruminative way of thinking, improving their self-esteem when they encounter a number of negative life events. Furthermore, more attention should be paid to the juvenile delinquents who experienced parental divorce.

“…In addition, adolescents with pathological family relationships and disharmonious relationships with their parents have a higher risk of self-harm ( 23 ). Furthermore, experiencing adverse life events (parental abuse or neglect) in childhood ( 24 ), parental divorce ( 25 ), family death ( 26 ), and witnessing parental violence ( 27 ) have all been associated with NSSI behaviors in adolescents. Notably, improving family relationships may reduce NSSI in later childhood who experience adverse life events in childhood.…”

Comparing a family structure to a company, one can often think of parents as leaders and adolescents as employees. Stressful family environments and anxiety levels, depression levels, personality disorders, emotional regulation difficulties, and childhood trauma may all contribute to non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviors. We presented a support vector machine (SVM) based method for discovering the key factors among mazy candidates that affected NSSI in adolescents. Using SVM as the base learner, and the binary dragonfly algorithm was used to find the feature combination that minimized the objective function, which took into account both the prediction error and the number of selected variables. Unlike univariate model analysis, we used a multivariate model to explore the risk factors, which better revealed the interactions between factors. Our research showed that adolescent education level, anxiety and depression level, borderline and avoidant personality traits, as well as emotional abuse and physical neglect in childhood, were associated with mood disorders in adolescents. Furthermore, gender, adolescent education level, physical abuse in childhood, non-acceptance of emotional responses, as well as paranoid, borderline, and histrionic personality traits, were associated with an increased risk of NSSI. These findings can help us make better use of artificial intelligence technology to extract potential factors leading to NSSI in adolescents from massive data, and provide theoretical support for the prevention and intervention of NSSI in adolescents.

“…According to some studies, children of parents who continue post divorce dating behavior, live together and change partners frequently have behavioral problems and their well-being is negatively affected. According to some studies, these relationship styles have been found to negatively affect emotional-secure attachment styles in children (Wang et al, 2021). While developing a harmonious relationship with the mother's post divorce dating partner positively affects the child's development, termination of the partnership relationship may lead to an increase in internalizing and externalizing behaviors and stress levels in children (Langlais et al, 2018).…”

In this study, the transformation of the traditional family in the historical process, the change in production-consumption models and the loss of the family's role-function in the historical process are discussed and possible solutions for supporting the family institution from a social work perspective are identified. It is seen that the functions of the family in areas such as health, security and education, which have continued throughout history, have weakened considerably today. This situation can be attributed to the fact that marriages, which are largely established with body-oriented, egocentric human elements, have become sustainable to the extent of mutual physical/psychological satisfaction of the couples. Thus, the formation of single-parent family forms due to increasing divorces, the increase in children growing up without the protection of mother and/or father, and the psychosocial and financial crises of divorced individuals have become a threat to the sustainable healthy social structure. In relation to these results, the perspective of social work is to support and strengthen the family institution and to prevent social problems that may arise from broken families. In the research, the transformation of the family in the historical process was examined with the documentation technique, one of the qualitative research methods, and the social problems caused by this transformation were described based on the results of the researches conducted on this subject. In the solution of the problems identified, solution suggestions were developed from the perspective of social work.
